Building upon a legacy of aviation excellence that dates back to 1938 with the Big Crown Pointer Date, Oris is proud to announce the launch of the new ProPilot Date. Unveiled at Dubai Watch Week 2025, this latest iteration represents a sophisticated evolution of the ProPilot line, combining professional-grade utility with reliable performance for the modern adventurer.
A contemporary take on aviation heritage
The ProPilot has been a cornerstone of the Oris collection since 2014. The new ProPilot Date honors the DNA of the original Big Crown – specifically the oversized crown and high-legibility numerals – while introducing a sleeker design with its bezel fluting reminiscent of a jet engine turbine.
Key design innovations
The new ProPilot Date features a series of meticulous upgrades designed to enhance both form and function:
- Refined case: The 41.00 mm stainless steel case features sleek visual lines and a mix of satin and polished finishes, showcasing the design’s homage to aircraft. Inside the case is Oris’ reliable and in-house Calibre 733 movement.
- Natural textures: The updated dial – available in Black, Chalk, or Moss – features a texture inspired by materials found in nature, paired with brushed Arabic numerals and Super-LumiNova tipped hands for superior legibility.
- Advanced ergonomics: The watch is available on a new metal bracelet or a suede leather strap that introduces a seamless fit adjustment system and a redesigned folding “LIFT” clasp.
A partnership with purpose: Coulson Aviation
Coinciding with the launch of the ProPilot, Oris reaffirms its commitment to “Change for the Better” by celebrating three years of partnering with Coulson Aviation. As the world’s leading aerial firefighting organization, Coulson’s pilots fly high-risk missions to combat forest fires around the world.
Oris remains a proud supporter of Coulson, united in a vision of innovation and teamwork. “We make mechanical watches intended to serve a purpose and to bring joy. This community and sense of connection are essential if we are to bring positive change. This is why it’s a great joy to call Wayne and Britton Coulson our friends and to partner in their life-saving mission.”
